An Existence Without Words
if there was no poetry, my dear,
even kisses and hugs would be confined.
your lips without color,
your cheeks with no pinch,
the cold crass wind that teases on the ship
would cease to exist.
seasickness an existence without words,
the dash on the rocks
would curtly say: he’s dead, with
no forlorn lover’s expression of grief.
the lighthouse absent
no God present
a wasteland of words
no words at all…
